Two trains on parallel tracks are traveling in the same direction. One train starts 10 km behind the other. It overtakes the fir

st train in 2 hours . What is the relative speed of the second train with respect to the first train?

Answer:

v'=v_2-v_1=5\frac{km}{h}

Explanation:

The relative speed between the trains is given by:

v'=v_2-v_1

v1: speed of the first train

v2: speed of the second train

To find the relative velocity you write the equation of motion of both train by taking into account the information of the statement. The trains have constant velocity. Furthermore, the second train stars 10 km behind the other one. hence you have:

x=10+v_1t\\\\x=v_2t

for t = 2 hours, the positions of both trains are equal, thus you have:

10+v_1t=v_2t

you factor v2 - v1 from the last equation and replace t = 2h:

10=v_2t-v_1t\\\\10=(v_2-v_1)t\\\\v_2-v_1=\frac{10}{t}=\frac{10}{2}=5 \frac{km}{h}

Hence, you have that the relative velocity is:

v'=v_2-v_1=5\frac{km}{h}

A velocity selector is built with a magnetic field of magnitude 5.2 T and an electric field of strength 4.6 × 10 ^ 4 N/C. The di
nydimaria [60]

Explanation :

Magnetic field, B = 5.2 T

Electric field, E=4.6\times 10^4\ N/C

The directions of the two fields are perpendicular to each other. Hence the force due to each field will equate each other.

Electrostatic force, F =qE.........(1)

Magnetic force, F = qvB........(2)

From equation (1) and (2)

   E = v B

v=\dfrac{E}{B}

v=\dfrac{4.6\times 10^4\ N/C}{5.2\ T}

v=0.88\times 10^4\ m/s

v=8.8\times 10^3\ m/s

Hence, the correct option is (a).

(2) A permanent magnet always has two poles as the North pole and south pole. The magnetic field lines start from north poles and terminate at the south pole of the magnet.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Standard twist-on wire connectors are not suitable for terminating or splicing aluminum or copper-clad aluminum conductors.
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Twist-on wire connectors are a sort of electrical conduit used only to fasten two or more small tension (or extra-low tension) electrical conductors.They are also called wire nuts, wire connectors or cone connectors( because of their conical shape). They are not suitable for for terminating or splicing aluminum or copper-clad aluminum conductors.

Hence the above statement is true.

What is the heat needed to raise the temperature of 24.7 kg silver from 14.0 degrees celsius to 30.0 degrees celsius? specific h
Citrus2011 [14]
The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is given by
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where
m is the mass of the substance
C_s is its specific heat capacity
\Delta T is the increase of temperature

The sample of silver of our problem has a mass of m=24.7 kg. Its specific heat capacity is C_s = 236 J/g^{\circ}C and the increase in temperature is
\Delta T=30.0^{\circ}-14.0^{\circ}C=16.0^{\circ}C

Therefore, the amount of heat needed is
Q=mC_s \Delta T=(24.7 kg)(236 J/g^{\circ}C)(16.0^{\circ}C)=9.32 \cdot 10^4 J

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Only 9% weaker

Explanation:

Because this is where most stuff that people do in space takes place. So, um, here we're at a radius of the earth plus 300 kilometers. You may already be seeing why this isn't going to have much effect if this were except the 6.68 times, 10 to the sixth meters. And so the value of Gout here. You know, Newton's gravitational constant times, the mass of the Earth divided by R squared for the location we're looking at. And so this works out to be 8.924 meters per second squared, which is certainly less than it is at the surface of the earth. However, this is only 9% less than acceleration for gravity at the surface. So the decrease in the gravity gravitational acceleration of nine percent not really going toe produces a sensation of weightlessness.

Which type of earthquake waves are responsible for most of the damage caused by an earthquake? Why?
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Surface waves travel along the surface. There are two types of body waves: P-waves travel fastest and through solids, liquids, and gases; S-waves only travel through solids. Surface waves are the slowest, but they do the most damage in an earthquake.
